All day long Andrew sat by Keiko's bedside, asking her to talk about everything. Until finally when the girl was sleepy and asleep, she remained sitting in the room and accompanied him quietly. While propping up his chin with one hand, Andrew noticed Keiko's expression sleeping soundly. Unknowingly the corners of the man's lips were drawn upwards, forming a beautifully curved bow. I don't know when the last time he enjoyed this peace. His days were always filled with tension, intrigue, and infighting. Everyone is racing and dropping each other to be at the top of the pyramid of power.
Maybe ... Now is the time ....
“Captain!” Kim stood behind the door and knocked quietly. He was afraid to disturb his Captain, but there was something important that he had to convey immediately.
“Captain Andew, can I log in?” call again when no answer is heard from inside.
“Wait a minute.”
Andrew woke up carefully and walked towards the door. He did not want to wake Keiko. Enough rest will speed up the girl's recovery.
“What's up, Kim?” ask Andrew. His voice was more like a whisper. He actually set his tone as low as possible so as not to disturb Keiko's sleep.
Seeing this, Kim lowered his tone. “Sorry, Captain. I don't want to interrupt, but .. Someone wants to meet you. I can't keep him in the lobby. He insists on going up and meeting you directly here.”
Andrew frowned deeply, trying to guess who wanted to meet him. If the guess is correct .. maybe it is time ....
“Where is he? I—“
“What's where he is, boy? That's how you welcomed me?”
Andrew immediately gasped at the sound of baritones coming with steady footsteps and a little rush from behind Kim's body. He turned his head and was quite surprised when he saw a middle-aged man wearing a military suit already standing before him firmly. The attributes attached to his chest and sleeves indicated that the person was not an indiscriminate person, clearly having an important standing in the military world.
“Chairman,” greet Andrew while stepping away from the door and paying homage to the man, “You can ask me to come to headquarters, no need to bother—“
“Omong empty!” between the men in front of Andrew waving his hands impatiently, “Where is the girl? It has shaken the world of mafia and military so hard, I want to see it for myself.”
“It ... day ...”
“Exit! You don't trust me? I just wanted to meet her instead of scolding her. What are you afraid of?”
“But .. he just went to bed,” Andrew said with a helpless expression.
He really did not expect that the famous Mr.X would come alone to visit Keiko. He had only met the man five times. Listen, reportedly the man was very difficult to meet, but now he even bothers to appear in a military hospital?
Mr.X waved his hand impatiently and barged into the patient's room, leaving Andrew completely ignorant of whether to cry or be flattered.
“Chairman, why bother coming here. We will definitely visit you if conditions already allow.”
“Oh, he was sleeping,” muttered Mr.X as if not to hear Andrew say, “I think you just reasoned that I didn't come and interrupt. The man took a look at Andrew and Keiko's faces in turn, then nodded his head in satisfaction.
“Good work ... really good work, it is not wrong I entrust it to you,” muttered the eccentric man as if he was talking to himself. He took the chair Andrew had occupied and threw his butt hard on the seat pad.
“I've considered it carefully, I should have been looking for a replacement. I think you have that ability ... I mean, to replace me set up the organization—“
“Captain!”
Andrew let out a sigh and took a sudden nosedive on his temple. This was the reason he did not go straight to Mr.X after his mission was completed. The old man would definitely continue to babble like he is today.
“Captain, as we talked about earlier .. when this is all done, I stop, no longer involved in the organization and—“
“Fucking boy!” shouted Mr.X with maximum sound volume.
Not only did his screams surprise Andrew, but the lying Keiko was jumped and almost toppled from the hospital bed.
The girl sat down and looked around in a daze. His eyes blinked to dispel the dizziness that hit his head.
“What is this?” ask her with a puzzled facial expression, “Andrew?”
“Hey, sorry to surprise you. Introduce, this is my leader, Mr.X,” Andrew said as he approached Keiko and helped prop up a pillow on the girl's back.
“Oh, hello ... Sir, I'm Keiko. Nice to meet you,” said Keiko while slightly bowing her back.
“Ya .. yes ... yes, I already know your name. It is very beautiful, it is worth this pedicab impatient and want to rush to marry you,” replied Mr.X indifferently, “Even reject such a good position. Ck!”
Hearing that blunt answer made Keiko almost choke, while Andrew's face was as red as a ripe tomato. Andrew raised his hand and rubbed the tip of his nose awkwardly. The chairman's mouth was very sharp.
“Chairman, you'll scare him if you keep talking like that,” scolds Andrew in a very slow voice.
Mr.X sneered and glared at Andrew. He then said, “You should have scared him, right? In just a few days, have you been going to kidnap and run him to Paris? Really shameless!”
This time Andrew actually choked and coughed. Leaned like that in front of Keiko really made her lose face.
“Chairman, please ... give me a little face, otherwise this girl might change her mind and run away from me,” pinta Andrew very humbly, he said, “I've taken pains to get his heart, please help me, huh?”
“Kiss already, still afraid to lose?”
“A-what? B-how ...”
Keiko really wanted to dig the ground and hide in the hole. In his heart he kept cursing and scolding Andrew.
“Have ... already, I'm not bothering you guys anymore. Like I said, I just wanted to see him and offer you that position. If you don't want it already, I'll find someone else.”
Like his sudden and unexpected arrival, the man's departure was like a whirlwind disappearing in the desert, leaving no marks at all. Were it not for the echoes of his voice that kept ringing in Keiko's ears, he would have thought that he had just had a strange dream.
“Andrew,” call Keiko with a sound resembling hiss, “How can she know about ...”
“I don't know either,” Andrew replied with a very serious facial expression, “Maybe next time we have to close all the doors and windows if you want to kiss.”
“Basic pervert!” keiko exclaimed as she picked up the pillow and threw it at Andrew.
Andrew chuckled and squinted easily. He then jumped forward and landed a kiss on Keiko's lips before the girl could protest.
